Dieser laufende Roboter im Trailer zum Sci-Fi-Western “Young Ones” erinnert mich total an das Pferd vom Tod in “East of West”, was ja auch irgendwie ein Sci-Fi-Western ist. Ansonsten sind die Sci-Fi-Elemente in dem Film scheinbar doch eher subtil, aber warten wir mal ab. Das Setting sieht ganz nett aus und der Kampf um Wasser ist ja auch aktueller den je und wird ein zentraler Punkt in naher Zukunft werden. Hier die Synopsis:
YOUNG ONES is set in a near future when water has become the most precious and dwindling resource on the planet, one that dictates everything from the macro of political policy to the detailed micro of interpersonal family and romantic relationships. The land has withered into something wretched. The dust has settled on a lonely, barren planet. The hardened survivors of the loss of Earth’s precious resources scrape and struggle. Ernest Holm (Michael Shannon) lives on this harsh frontier with his children, Jerome (Kodi Smit McPhee)and Mary (Elle Fanning). He defends his farm from bandits, works the supply routes, and hopes to rejuvenate the soil. But Mary’s boyfriend, Flem Lever (Nicholas Hoult), has grander designs. He wants Ernest’s land for himself, and will go to any length to get it. From writer/director Jake Paltrow comes a futuristic western, told in three chapters, which inventively layers Greek tragedy over an ethereal narrative that’s steeped deeply in the values of the American West.
In den US&A erscheint der Film schon am 17. Oktober, wann er in unseren Breiten anläuft, ist leider noch nicht bekannt…
